Transactions accumulate, VAT returns are rushed, and reports arrive too late to matter: that is how most accounting arrangements fail growing businesses. Cressford Chartered Accountants delivers clean, IFRS-compliant books, punctual management reports, and records that satisfy UAE VAT and corporate tax law, every month, without fail. Bookkeeping, payroll, management accounts and year-end, handled by chartered accountants for a fixed monthly fee.
State your monthly transaction volume and receive a fixed monthly fee within one working day. Your details remain confidential.
No obligation. Your details remain confidential.
Bookkeeping is the foundation on which everything else stands; done poorly, the VAT returns, tax filings and audit all inherit the disorder. The books are kept accurate and current every month: every sale, purchase, payment and receipt recorded, bank and card accounts reconciled, and receivables and payables tracked so it is always clear who owes what. Clean books mean no quarter-end scramble, no surprises at audit, and figures that can be relied upon when decisions are made.
Payroll in the UAE is not merely a matter of paying on time: salaries must be paid through the Wage Protection System (WPS), and errors create labour and licensing problems. The monthly payroll is run end to end: salaries, allowances and deductions calculated, WPS-compliant payments processed, payslips issued, and end-of-service and leave calculations handled. Accurate, punctual, and off the client's desk.
Cressford Chartered Accountants is software-agnostic, working in the cloud platform that suits the business rather than imposing one. Whether the business runs on Zoho Books, QuickBooks, Xero, Tally or Sage, work is carried out inside the client's system, preserving real-time visibility of the numbers and keeping everything ready for VAT and corporate tax. Not yet set up? The right platform for the size and sector is recommended and implemented.
